[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 289255, member: 2459"] Speaking as someone who was in a similar situation as Kt....I wouldn't bring it up directly. If she brings it up, fine. Otherwise....maybe casual comments here or there about similar situations on tv or with people you know. When I got to that point it was kind of a split. I realized the limits my dad had but I still defended him in a way if my mom said anything outright. It wasn't that mom and I had a bad relationship, we didn't...it was....well, I don't know that I can really explain it actually. I guess the closest I can come is when siblings call each other names but the second someone ELSE calls one of them a name, all heck breaks loose. Know what I mean?? But, that could be just me too. Everyone is different. You know her and know her moods. If you think she would be open to it, start a conversation. If not....wait for an opening. [/QUOTE]
